Thinking About Care

Thinking About Care

If you are starting to think about Care for yourself, or a member of your family, then you are ahead of the game. Most people leave it until Care is needed, and have to sort things out in a hurry.

But planning for Care is a new world for most people, with many new decisions to be made.

There are different types of Care to consider: Care in your own home, residential care or nursing care.

There will be many practical issues to sort out. There is finding the right carer or care home. Maybe legal issues to resolve.

Then there is funding for care. The starting point is always to see what your local authority can provide. Beyond that, with careful planning you can make the best use of your income and assets, and take time to consult with your family on this.

Whatever your needs, equityCare is here to help. Call our Helpline on 0800 014 1640. It is a free service, and offers help and advice on all of the issues outlined above.

We look forward to talking to you.
